Taking The Health Care Fight Where It Belongs

As an independent-minded Montanan, I applaud those in Washington who have decided to do what is right by the American people and work together to find real solutions for health care reform. I agree whole-heartedly with the concept of a public option for those who choose that it is the best choice for them financially. Montanans don’t want to be forced into any type of health care plan and are smart enough to know what is best for them. With the current policy outline, no one from Montana will have to give up their health care or change their doctor if they don’t want to. It is their choice.

But even after health care legislation is passed, there will continue to be an even bigger fight, and unfortunately we are seeing it rear its ugly head at town halls all across the country. Good Americans are being misled and misinformed by corporate sponsored organizations. Big insurance companies are using the American people as pawns while hiding behind complex tax codes. Those companies are too afraid to fight out in the open and they are scaring working families. Instead of an honest discussion, they use corporate dollars to spread lies and half-truths about health care reform. Those companies operate as con artists and families everywhere should be on the lookout.

When I go to Congress, I am going to change the way Washington works by bringing about more transparency. These organizations will continue to fight against affordable health care reform unless we expose them and make them come out in the open. I am willing to take this fight into the public domain. The question will be whether or not the big insurance companies will join me or if they will continue to just be corporate cowards.
